Ruhrtal pipeline project: Transmission system operator Thyssengas carries out pipeline construction work in Arnsberger Str. in Wickede - seventh construction phase begins

From Monday, 15 July 2024, the transmission system operator will continue the construction work on Arnsberger (previously Voßwinkeler) Straße, which began and was communicated in January. The seventh construction phase begins.

The seventh construction phase begins shortly after the junction of Arnsberger Str./ Lendringser Str./ Feldweg and ends in the area of Arnsberger Str. house number 10. Arnsberger Str. will be fully closed for the duration of the project, which will last approximately eight weeks. A diversion route via Echthausen will be set up and signposted. The Ruhrtalklinik and the affected residential areas can be reached via Barge. A wider diversion route will be signposted for the transport of hazardous goods and water-polluting substances. Emergency vehicles and buses can pass the construction site at all times.

The planning and realisation of the measures will be carried out in close coordination with the representatives of the municipality of Wickede, the responsible authorities and Straßen.NRW. Thyssengas asks for your understanding for the resulting inconvenience. The measure described is related to the Ruhr Valley pipeline project.

About the Ruhr Valley pipeline project

Due to increased capacity requirements, Thyssengas GmbH has been expanding its gas transport system in the Wickede / Arnsberg / Meschede region - the so-called Ruhr Valley pipeline - since 2018. The existing pipeline system is being modernised in several construction phases, increasing transport capacity in the process. The Ruhrtal pipeline will supply the downstream networks of the local municipal utilities as well as numerous large consumers such as industrial companies and power plants with gas. The entire project is scheduled for completion in 2026.
